Well, it's time for a healthy helping of Crow. Tom Tustison just phoned =
to tell me that he had 2 White-winged Scoters in the same flock that I =
reported Black Scoters earlier today. He saw the white wing patches =
which I did not (my birds slept the entire time). Although there was a 4 =
hour time difference between Tom's and my observation, I am inclined to =
believe that I erred in my ID and that what I saw were actually =
White-wingeds, not Blacks. Apologies to anyone who looked for and was =
disappointed to find White-wingeds. I know there's a lesson in here =
somewhere. I wonder how scoters taste compared to crow?
